Experience with IUGR?

So we have known that the past 8 weeks baby has been measuring behind 2 weeks size wise. They have closely monitored it but now when doctor measure my uterus in the office he said that that’s almost two weeks behind too. I already have weekly u/s but now he is ordering an extra one. Anyone have experience?

Do you have IGUR? Do you know what percentile baby was in? How far along are you?

Bump- bumping your post back to the top so it will get more views. When the board is moving fast posts tend to fall to the bottom of the list and goes unseen.

I'm not in IUGR territory. But then again we are only 5% away. Baby is in the 15th percentile. Waiting for my next ultrasound. But these people scheduled it for 35 weeks (found this out at 30 weeks I am at 31 now). It makes no sense because my csection is already set for 37 weeks anyway! Wouldn't they want to check sooner rather than later....?! Guess not.

From what I have read in other posts, doctor will look at the placenta to make sure blood is still flowing and baby is getting nutrients and oxygen. In the event the placenta starts to fail I believe they induce from there.

My little is in iugr territory. His head, arms and legs are all in 2-4th percentile but his belly is in the 28th percentile. My ob is closely monitoring with weekly ultrasounds, Since 30 weeks. I've been to a maternal fetal medicine doc. And she is not concerned because his belly is in an accptible range. No known reason why he is soo small.

I had my baby 16days ago due to IUGR caused by placenta insufficiency. My baby was in the 9th percentile when my placenta issue was discovered. I was in th hospital for 6days before having an eCS. Baby was born in the normal weight for his GA, but my body was failing due to oxygen deprivition, the Drs had to take him out to save him.

My dd (dear daughter) had iugr. There is a iugr board I recommend u joining! Im watching this lo closely for signs too..being drs and specialists arnt as worried as id like them to be. He was 45% at anatomy scan and went down to 20% at 27 weeks. I convinced my reg ob to give me another one at 31 weeks because perinatologist wouldn't see me again until 33 weeks 🙄

This LO (little one) has been below the 10th percentile since 21-22wks. We see MFM 1-2x a week with frequent scans. There has been some cord flow issues that have come and gone, now they’re seeing too much amniotic fluid. But she is healthy and strong so far, just small. All of the issues seem to be related to my placenta and so far she is compensating wonderfully. They are planning on taking her via scheduled c-section at 36wks. But we are hanging out in the hospital right now for bleeding related to placenta prévia and hoping she doesn’t come early. However, she is totally fine and having a party in there 🤷🏻‍♀️

Your growing child

Your 2-week-old

Your baby probably loves to be held, caressed, kissed, stroked, massaged, and carried. He may even make an "ah" sound when he hears your voice or sees your face, and he'll be eager to find you in a crowd.

Your 4-week-old

Your baby may gurgle, coo, grunt, and hum to express his feelings. A few babies also begin squealing and laughing. Be sure to coo and gurgle back, and talk to your baby face to face. He'll enjoy holding your gaze now.
